How to Help More Kids Play Soccer

To our AYSO community,

Please join me on Nov. 28 for AYSO’s #GivingTuesday campaign. All proceeds go toward AYSO’s Playership Fund, which provides soccer scholarships for players who are unable to afford the full cost of an AYSO soccer program.

The #GivingTuesday campaign is held once a year on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, and it is a nationwide opportunity for nonprofits and service organizations to raise money and to encourage the spirit of giving during the holiday season. The donations raised from AYSO’s #GivingTuesday campaign go directly to the Playership Fund, which has helped more than 5,700 players play AYSO soccer since the fund’s inception in 2011.

Additionally, the following sponsors have pledged to donate the specified amount if it can be matched by other donors: Fox Sports 1 has pledged to donate $5,000, AYSO Store has pledged to donate $1,000, and CLIF Kid has pledged to donate $5,000. My sincere thank you to these valued sponsors.

Although #GivingTuesday falls on Nov. 28 this year, you don’t have to wait until that date to donate. You can make a donation today by going to AYSO’s Playership Fund by clicking here. I would appreciate your help by sharing the link with your friends, family and colleagues so we can expand AYSO’s reach by giving everyone the chance to play soccer.
